..AutomaticLink is used to find out the mode for automatic detection of links in the multiline edit controls and to enable (or not) this mode. This property is available for the text and RTF edit controls.

When this property is enabled, the links found in the specified edit control are automatically displayed as clickable links. The following links are taken into account:

URLs. For example, "http://www.windev.com".

full paths or UNC paths to a file. For example, "C:\temp\MyImages.gif". The link is displayed only if the file exists.

When the user clicks this link, the corresponding file is automatically displayed (ShellExecute is automatically run with the text of the link in parameter). The click can be intercepted by the WM_USER + 853 event (see the Notes).

To select the link (without opening the document), all you have to do is press the Ctrl key.

Note: This property is equivalent to the "Allow the links" option found in the "Details" tab of the description window of edit controls.

In WebDev it would be very interesting to have this feature of Autolink in any text field.In my case I save links in a Table control so this feature would allow me to click directly over the link. Now I have to a do a copypaste of the link.
